Page 2: Objectives Of The Module
Objectives: After completion of this module you will be able to: • Disassemble the N73 engine. • Perform critical measurements and observations to determine engine condition. • Correctly reassemble (including valve gear timing) the N73 engine. N73B60 Engine - Diagnosis... -
Page 3: Purpose Of The System
Purpose of the System The N73 engine is a complete new BMW development from the NG Series (New Generation) as a B60 (6 liter). The N73B60 will be used in the E66 as a 760Li (USA). KT-9765 The BMW 760Li will set new standards in terms of performance and driving dynamics in the 12-cylinder market segment as well as significantly reduce fuel consumption. -

A partial amount of engine oil will permanently bypass the oil thermostat, even when it is fully open and flows uncooled through the engine. DSC00629 The engine oil cooler helps to keep the engine oil temperature below 150 ºC. N73B60 Engine - Diagnosis... -
Page 10: Cylinder Heads
Cylinder Heads The two N73 cylinder heads are a new development from BMW and have been adapted to the new direct injection system. The cylinder heads are equipped with Valvetronic valve gear and Bi-VANOS. The inlet camshaft and the Valvetronic eccentric shaft are jointly guid- ed by a bridge support. -
